Ive been talking to him for around 2 months now, he is a great guy + he lives in clearmonte which is about 30 minutes from where i live. If something does go wrong with his sytem he already knows ill be knocking at his door =).
besides that fact that his kit is 1700$ makes it affordable for me, ill run 4psi until i can afford the intercooler and injectors then push it up to around 7-8. Im not trying to have a 10 second car or anything, just a daily driver with a little bit of "pull".
Thanks for advice though, i took everyones input into consideration. Ill be purchasing it this friday.

Best of luck wikky. I've never attempted anything even close to what you're doing, but regardless I'll give some advice. For all the time and money you're putting into this project, you might as well do it right. If I were you I'd save up until I had enough money to change the internals as well, someone else mentioned that the GM buildbook for the Ecotec gives good information. I'd also intercool and install BOV with the primary installation as well.
You're going to have a lot of fun with this man. It's about time one of us 2.2 owners stepped up and gave the SS/SC a challenge

thank you yea ill decide the internals situation a little farther down the road, not sure, i was thinking about getting the turbo setup done and working properly, then adding a turbo cam and probably other internals too so i can up the boost. and yes im primarily doing it so those damn SS/SC owners dont think they are the greatest for much longer lol! im just messin with em...but ill race em
